Dear pollux, It's interesting to me that you call me deceptive because I ask direct questions. People who know me personally will tell you I am one of the most direct people they have ever met. I don't play games with people outside a scene. One of the qualities my man in service prizes in me (above all others) is "all rules up front". I know what I want and I am not bashful about saying it. And I am willing to give as good as I get. You speak of "love" in your reply to my post. Love is not something I looked for on a first date, or even the first 5 dates. That puts a lot of undo pressure on both parties. Instead I sought basic compatibility and my inquiries went from religion and politics, to BDSM, ethics and personal integrity. If our basic values and such were in line, we proceeded to the next phase. I have to like you before I can love you. One of the things I appreciated about my boy was he asked questions about me as well. Not just "do you know how to do CBT" questions, but questions about me as a person. He too fished me out to see if we had potential outside of play. Early in my search I discovered listening to someone else told me more about them than talking about myself. If I gave out too much information about myself, my needs and wants, they would parrot back my answers whether they were true or not. A few weeks down the road the lie would be revealed and I would feel betrayed. When I would push for WHY they lied, I was told again and again "I thought if I told you the truth, you wouldn't go out with me." For some, that was a correct observation. But wouldn't you rather be accepted or rejected based on who you really are? I would. After a while I developed my series of questions to weed out those that would waste my time. I am glad my search is over. I have found the partner I was searching for. And believe me, he was worth the wait. Ms Sandi
